Mark Zuckerberg is ready to compete at the blue belt ahead of the fight with Elon Musk. Zuckerberg, the CEO of Threads and Instagram owner Meta, moved up the ranks to become a Blue Belt in jiu-jitsu ahead of his much-anticipated potential fight with Twitter CEO Elon Musk.
Taking to Instagram, the 39-year-old Zuckerberg congratulated his coach Dave Camarillo on receiving a fifth-degree black belt.
“Congrats Dave Camarillo on your 5th-degree black belt. You’re a great coach and I’ve learned so much about fighting and life from training with you. Also honored to be promoted to compete at the blue belt for Guerilla Jiu-Jitsu San Jose team,” he wrote.

On the other hand, Camarillo was impressed by Zukerberg’s determination and focus. He also added that the Meta CEO really put his mind into jiu-jitsu, and he was very passionate about it.
“He’s amazing. He is an extremely hard worker, as everybody knows. But a lot of people have a business and they’re successful and they have that side of their life, and rarely do they dip into the physical side, especially with something like Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, and have the same amount of success or even go past Day 1 or Month 1. He’s not that kind of guy,” Camarillo said of Zuckerberg.
As of now, Zuckerberg’s battle with Musk appears to be on, as the Threads CEO has been training with professionals every day, even recently expressing a desire to train with legendary grappler Gordon Ryan to hone his skills.
Meanwhile, Musk has not been idle, as he was spotted training with former MMA fighter Georges St-Pierre (GSP) earlier this month.
It should be noted that legendary UFC fighter Conor McGregor has also stated that if the fight takes place in the Octagon, he will assist Musk in training against Zuckerberg.
“I’m interested,” McGregor told the Daily Mail.
“Are they gonna go ahead with it? Are they gonna make it happen?
“If it happens under the UFC banner, I’m with it. It has to happen under the UFC banner,” he said.
On the other hand, as of May 2023, Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth was estimated at $85.0 billion according to the Forbes Real Time Billionaires, making him the 14th richest person.
